Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album honky château<br><br>She packed my bags last night pre-flight<br>Zero hour nine a.m.<br>And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then<br>I miss the earth so much I miss my wife<br>It's lonely out in space<br>On such a timeless flight<br><br>And I think it's gonna be a long long time<br>Till touch down brings me round again to find<br>I'm not the man they think I am at home<br>Oh no no no I'm a rocket man<br>Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone<br><br>Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids<br>In fact it's cold as hell<br>And there's no one there to raise them if you did<br>And all this science I don't understand<br>It's just my job five days a week<br>A rocket man, a rocket man<br><br>And I think it's gonna be a long long time...
